Faking it: Door and Wall Moulding

Remember the faux-door moulding we created in our New York apartment? We used used a combination of crown moulding and miter cuts to add a little architecture. (You can see the “after” behind Hudson in this photo, and the “before” here.)

R and R Designworks, on Etsy, has created an inexpensive DIY kit that seems like a terrific, alternative solution.

They’ll work with you on walls, too. I’d love to see someone with the proper style of home go all out and do something like this…

P.S. More photos of our NY apartment; and our current bedroom and kitchen.

Paris with Children

I’m a big fan of Famille Summerbelle’s paper-cut prints and wallpapers, and was so excited to see one of their designs, Un Dimanche à Paris, gracing the cover of a new guidebook, The Little Bookroom Guide to Paris with Children

As it turns out, we’re heading to Paris with Hudson in a few weeks (hooray!), so I immediately ordered a copy. I love its small size, especially because I’ll no doubt be carrying a lot more around than on past visits, when Aron and I visited sans child. And on first skim, it looks incredibly promising!

Have you been to Paris with a toddler? We have reserved a beautiful apartment on the Left Bank with Haven in Paris and I can’t wait!
